_skills-manager
📌 Skill Description
Manages the complete skill lifecycle in copilot-evolution-skills projects. Works with the evoskills CLI to install, update, and maintain AI skills.
Applicable Scenarios: Initializing projects with skills, installing/removing specific skills, updating skill definitions, contributing skill improvements.
Learning Source: evoskills CLI workflow and openskills compatibility patterns.
🎯 Core Operations
Initialize Project
evoskills init
evoskills init --core-only
evoskills init --skills a,b,c
Creates .agent/skills/, AGENTS.md, .github/AI_CONSTITUTION.md.
Install/Remove Skills
evoskills install _git-commit
evoskills remove _git-commit
evoskills list --installed
Update Skills
evoskills update
evoskills update _git-commit
⚡ Critical Path Constraint (v2.0.0+)
- ✅ All skill sources in
.agent/skills/<skill_name>/SKILL.md
- ❌ Never use deprecated
skills/ directory
- ✅ evoskills CLI fetches from
.agent/skills/ via GitHub raw content
🔄 Contributing Improvements
When improving a skill:
git checkout -b feat/improve-skill-name
git add .agent/skills/<skill_name>/
git commit -m "feat(_skill-name): describe improvement"
git push -u origin feat/improve-skill-name

🧙 Integration with _evolution-core

- Apply improvements directly to that file
- Never create duplicates in other directories

AGENTS.md if adding new skills
